China should stay a republic.

Which means as long as xi jingping does not appoint the next leader, then he can rule as long as he has the energy to rule. Each leadership has to earn the respect of its peers to rule. In the end xi jing ping is not the son of hu jing tao. In the end, xi jing ping is still the leader of china. Understand mao through cultural revolution he hand picked deng as the next leader. Because the only one who survived the cultural revolution was deng. Mao made sure china did not spiral out of control masterminding the cultural revolution with mao as the central leader where political figures fought a controlled battle and deng survived and was able to win as the successor to mao. Bringing china to open up and prosper economically. The successors of mao put their lives on the line politically. Even mao's wife miscalculated and ended up died in prison. These leaders did fight each other politically to the death under mao but mao kept the infighting in control so the country was not in chaos fighting an all out war. Even now xi jing ping came to power and bo xi lai ended with life in prison.
